After winning the game, all five members of Taobo were called in for an interview. All the four major competition regions participated, and the wild card region also came to join in the fun.
After the interview, everyone in Taobo went back to eat together, and then reviewed the interview. After the review, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.
Chen Yiqiu was lying on the bed looking at his mobile phone and entered the anti-stress bar to take a look.
I found that everyone didn’t care much about today’s game, probably because it was too easy for Tao Bo.
Now everyone is discussing tomorrow’s game with KZ.
[Whether KZ is strong or not, we will know tomorrow. I want to see what they are blowing all day long. 】
【It is very likely that it is for parallel imports. Really, I have this hunch. 】
[It’s hard to say, but KZ has talent anyway. Except for the bottom lane, which is a bit old, the rest are young. 】
【Taobo's bot lane is also young, but he's totally different. 】
[Taobo's bottom lane will definitely not be able to beat the opponent. The two elders Xuanming have tortured Bang and Wolf before. 】
[If the two elders Xuanming and Ming were taken separately, it would actually be like that. However, these two old guys have been playing together for so many years, and their tacit understanding is not comparable to that of a young combination. 】
At noon the next day, everyone in Taobo came to the restaurant for dinner. The competition was at two o'clock in the afternoon. You can't eat too much now, otherwise you will be sleepy by then. Eat a little and fill your stomach again in the evening.
Jin Min, Zhao Enjing and I were waiting at the door of the restaurant as usual. The two of them had greeted Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk in advance.
After arriving at the restaurant, Chen Yiqiu found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
At the door just now, I could still hear the commotion inside, everyone was eating and chatting.
But after coming in, it suddenly became quiet, and everyone was in good agreement.
Everyone in Taobo found a place to sit down and started ordering.
Jin Min and I were sitting next to Chen Yiqiu and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? The atmosphere feels wrong, is it my illusion?"
Chen Yiqiu shook his head: "It's not an illusion, I It’s probably because of KZ.”
“KZ?” Jin Min looked around, and soon she noticed everyone in KZ.
Sure enough, there was a feeling that there seemed to be an invisible and powerful aura between KZ and Taobo. The other teams were overwhelmed and did not want to be involved in this contest.
The two sides haven’t played each other yet, so it’s unclear who will have the last laugh, so the other teams have chosen not to take sides.
Jin Min asked in a low voice: "Oppa, we should be able to win the afternoon game, right?"
Chen Yiqiu asked back: "Do you think we might lose?"
"No." Jin Minwo shook his head.
Chen Yiqiu responded: "So, we will win."
"Yeah, I believe you." Jin Minga nodded repeatedly.
After eating, everyone in Taobo took a short rest and then went straight to the competition site.
In the lounge, Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and started to follow the news on the Internet as a kind of entertainment.
The popularity on the Internet is skyrocketing, and now the whole world is paying attention to this game.
Although it is a group stage, it seems that the final champion has been decided.
When Little Peanut saw Chen Yiqiu looking at his mobile phone, he immediately came over and seemed very interested.
Chen Yiqiu asked: "What do you want to see? Can't you also see the intranet? You have to see mine."
Little Peanut said with a smile: "Let's watch it together. It’s interesting, Brother Yiqiu.”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the lounge, and Li Zaiwan walked in from the door.
As soon as he saw Li Zaiwan, Little Peanut became nervous, as if a mouse saw a cat.
However, this time Li Zaiwan did not come to him directly. After greeting everyone, he directly looked for Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong on the bottom lane.
I saw Li Zaiwan saying: "You two must win today. The two bottom laners in KZ are so disgusting. Pei Junzhi and I have suffered a lot at their hands before."
Little Peanut asked: "What time did you say before? "When they were in Longzhu?"
Li Zaiwan responded: "Yes, they have played together for so long. It feels like they are playing alone. If you don't Be careful, you will definitely suffer a big loss.”
Chen Yiqiu could see an obsession in Li Zaiwan. He really wanted someone to help torture KZ's bottom lane, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
So Chen Yiqiu asked: "Were you humiliated by them again in the spring competition? What made you react so bigly."
Hearing this, Little Peanut began to laugh: "That's for sure Yes, I watched their game against KZ before. They couldn't beat them at all in the bottom lane, so forget it because they couldn't beat them. The middle and upper junglers can't beat each other, and the middle and upper junglers have to come over to attack the bottom lane. "
"I remember one game, Li Zaiwan died nine times, and he didn't get a single assist, let alone a kill. "
Little Peanut laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Wanghu, you!" Li Zaiwan just wanted to knock the little peanut to the ground with one punch.
Chen Yiqiu said: "You really need to be careful in the bottom lane. Their combination has something good, but there is no need to be too anxious. After all, it is a game of five people."
Chen Yiqiu said very well Euphemistically, it means don't send him away if you can't beat him, and wait for your teammates to help.
Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong can naturally understand, but for them, this is not something to be happy about.
They had experienced special laning training before, and it was Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk who trained together.
Isn't now the time to accept the results?
On the other side, at the game site, in the LPL division commentary box, Wawa and Miller were ready.
Jian Jianwa’s commentator said: “What is about to be held is the 2018 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship Invitational Tournament, the third day of the group stage. The two sides are the new king Taobo from the LPL division, and the LCK division. new King of Ren, KZ.”
Miller responded: “These two teams represent the highest level in the two divisions, so let’s look forward to their performance.”
While hosting. At the invitation of the people, the players from both sides appeared on the stage.
The crowd at the scene was full of momentum, cheering for the two teams one after another:
"Taobo! Taobo! Taobo!"
"KZ! KZ! KZ!"
>Baby explained: "Judging from the current expressions of both players, they should be relatively relaxed. This is Is it the calmness of a strong man? "
Miller seemed to have discovered something: "But not all ten of them are calm. Why do I feel that Taobo's bottom lane seems a little nervous? I hope they can perform well. Compared with the beginning of the season, Taobo’s bottom lane has actually made great progress in laning.”
On the playing field, Chen Yiqiu glanced at KZ.
He found that the expressions of the KZ people were not right, they seemed too relaxed.
Although this game will not affect the promotion of the two teams, it will affect the ownership of the top spot.
Whoever wins has a better chance of getting first place in the group stage. Of course, this first place has no real benefits, it just sounds better.
Does KZ not value this?
Players from both sides take their seats and start BP.
Hongmi and Yan are waiting. Because he has never played a training match with KZ, he doesn’t know whether KZ has any cards in hand, so he can only take one step at a time.
However, after the BP was over, everyone in Taobo discovered that KZ’s BP seemed to be nothing more than that. It was a very conventional set of BP, and they were all heroes often used by other teams in this MSI. Entering the game, everyone thought KZ would have some special arrangements.
It turned out that there was no such thing, it was just normal play.
KZ's bot lane advantage is not as big as expected, it's a little more overwhelming.
In the end, Taobo won the game relatively easily by relying on his advantage on the top lane.
Although the game lasted for more than thirty minutes, in Chen Yiqiu's opinion, Tao Bo did not encounter any serious trouble, and the rhythm was all in Tao Bo's hands.
Then the audience in the live broadcast room began to ridicule:
[Is that all KZ? Just such a level? 】
[I feel like KZ is not good either. They are always bragging all day long. I thought they were already invincible. 】
【I don’t know that KZ is invincible, but online they have won the championship for the next ten years. 】
【Blow up, this is a blow up. 】
【Did anyone notice that KZ seems to be hiding something? 】
【Hiding something? Hidden in S9? 】
[Every year, teams that say they are hiding things never end well in the end. 】
After winning the game, everyone in Taobo was interviewed and then returned to the lounge together.
Li Zaiwan was already waiting in the lounge. When he saw everyone coming in, he followed Hongmi and Guo Hao and stepped forward to express their condolences.
Hongmi stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Everyone has worked hard. After passing the KZ level, our subsequent games should be quite easy."
Guo Hao has already started loaning money. Champion: "I'm wondering what kind of celebration banquet I can prepare for all MSI champions to be worthy of this championship. Hahaha, this is our first time to participate in an international competition since the establishment of Taobo."
"Winning the championship for the first time, I feel that throughout the history of the league, it is rare."
Hearing this, everyone in Taobo laughed. It has to be said that although Guo Hao is in the specific game The content is not professional, but it can provide emotional value.
For a manager, that's enough.
Many team managers, let alone providing emotional value, consider the players lucky if they don't cause trouble.
"Well done. I haven't seen KZ lose a game for a long time. It feels so good!" Li Zaiwan cheered. He looked so excited that people who didn't know thought he was playing the game above.
Little Peanut began to brag: "I feel like their CUZZ is not very good. They were bragging about the fourteen-year-old genius boy, the most talented jungler in LCK history."
Li Zaiwan He and Peanut rarely reached an agreement and burst into laughter: "Hahaha? The most talented jungler? How is that possible? It’s him, bragging and not drafting.”
At this moment, Chen Yiqiu asked a serious question: “Who is the most talented jungler in LCK history? I don’t think I have ever heard this statement before. "
Hearing this, everyone was silent. Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong naturally did not need to answer. They had never played in LCK.
Chen Yiqiu looked at Lee Sang Hyuk: "Do you have any clue? Have you been in LCK for so long?"
Lee Sang Hyuk glanced at Little Peanut.
Little Peanut raised the corner of his mouth, waiting for Lee Sang Hyuk's praise. Although he tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't control it. The honorary title of "the most talented jungler in LCK history" is too tempting. Well, as long as you are a jungler, it is difficult to control your emotions.
As a result, Li Sang Hyuk said: "It's not like it's prosperous anyway."
"Ah? Brother Sang Hyuk, you!" Little Peanut almost vomited blood, how could this happen?
Li Zaiwan's stomach hurt from laughing: "Hahahahaha, look at how you were so upset just now, oh, you made me laugh so hard. You didn't really think that Lee Sang Hyuk would say it was you, did you?"
Little Peanut shut himself up on the spot, turned away, hid in a dark corner and murmured: "Draw a circle and curse you..."
Guo Hao greeted: "This is just the game today, now After the game, let’s celebrate together. The second round will start tomorrow. We will celebrate a little, but we will celebrate more if we win.”
So under the leadership of Guo Hao, everyone in Taobo left the lounge to prepare. Go back and eat.
However, in the corridor, everyone in Taobo met the entire KZ team who were about to leave.
The two teams met each other, and Li Zaiwan, who was originally smiling, also became quiet, and the atmosphere was not quite right.
Chen Yiqiu also took a brief look at KZ, and he discovered a problem.
Although KZ has lost the game now, you can't tell how frustrated and lost KZ is.
It was as if this defeat was what they expected.
Is it because they have a good mentality, or do they already know that they can't beat them and can accept losing?
I don’t understand, but none of this matters anymore.
For Chen Yiqiu, as long as he takes care of himself, he can't control other people's situations.
After leaving the competition venue, everyone in Taobo found a place to eat.
"Why are you following me? Are you one of Taobo's men?" Seeing Li Zaiwan following him into the box, Little Peanut took the initiative to attack.
Li Zaiwan was really embarrassed when Little Peanut said this, even though he was usually very thick-skinned.
But there are people here such as Hongmi and Guo Hao that he is not familiar with.
"It's okay. Let's have dinner together. We are all friends." Guo Hao smoothed things over.
Li Zaiwan smiled, he chose to take the initiative to sit next to Xiaohuatana and said: "Then I will sit here and catch up with my old teammates."
"Ugh! No, I have to go and talk to Yiqiu Brother, sit down!" Little Peanut ran away with the bowl, ran to Chen Yiqiu and sat down, begging for Chen Yiqiu's protection.
Before the waiter served the food, Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and started playing. Now the friends in the anti-stress bar are quite optimistic:
[LCK is about to break its defense now, not only women The host was poached by Taobo, and their spring championship was also beaten. 】
[This is losing your wife and losing your troops at the same time. 】
【Taobo is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye now, hahahaha. 】
【If the LPL can have two more teams like Taobo, I don’t dare to think about it, I can laugh out of my dreams. 】
【That’s it, there is only one Taobo in the world, how many more do you want? How dare you think so? 】
After Taobo everyone finished eating, they went back together to review the game, and then rested separately.
The next three days will be the second round of the group stage.
The schedule of this second round is the reverse of the first round.
This means that if Taobo plays KZ in the last game of the first round, then it will play KZ in the first game of the second round.
Things went more smoothly than everyone in Taobo imagined. They easily won KZ in thirty minutes. There were no obstacles in the following two games. Taobo got an 8-0 record, leaving only the last two games. field.
These two games put no pressure on Taobo.
As for KZ, they even lost one game to FNC and now have lost three small games. Of course, this does not prevent them from entering the knockout rounds.
So that night, someone came to see Chen Yiqiu.
He is playing with his mobile phone and getting ready to sleep.
"Dong dong dong!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Chen Yiqiu came to the door and opened it, only to find that it was Impact and other TL players. The whole team was here! (End of chapter)
